The Green Mountain Boys

C                  F                 G
In a little valley by a bridge they made a stand,
C                            Dm                  G
Just a bunch of boys, sir -- oh, but they were grand,
 F                           C
Red Coats couldn't find 'em forward or behind 'em,
                     Dm                F          G        C
For their eyes were keen, sir -- and green their mountain land.


[Chorus]

        F         G            C       Am
Oh the mountains sing and the valleys ring,
     Dm              G             C
And hooray for the Green Mountain Boys,
        F         G            C       Am
Oh the mountains sing and the valleys ring,
     Dm              G             C
And hooray for the Green Mountain Boys.


[Verse 2]

     C                           F               G
The farmer dropped his plow and took his rifle from the wall,
  C                         Dm                G
Another dropped his hammer when he heard the call,
     F                                     C
They left their farms and wheat, sir -- to go plant freedom's seed, sir
                 Dm            F      G  C
To feed a hungry nation with freedom for all.

        F         G            C       Am

[Verse 3]

C                               F             G
Every man was ready, sir -- hidden where no folk could see,
   C                   Dm       G
Behind the rocks and stones, in every bush and tree,
      F                             C
They waited for a sign, sir -- and gave 'em such a time, sir,
                      Dm           F      G        C
And sent 'em on their way, sir -- back across the sea.


[Chorus]

        F         G            C       Am
Oh the mountains sing and the valleys ring,
     Dm              G             C
And hooray for the Green Mountain Boys,
        F         G            C       Am
Oh the mountains sing and the valleys ring,
     Dm              G             C
And hooray for the Green Mountain Boys.

In a little valley by a bridge they made a stand,
 C                           Dm                  G
Just a bunch of boys, sir -- oh, but they were grand,
      F                              C
The sky was red above, sir -- their hearts were filled with love, sir
                   Dm         F          G        C
For their brothers everywhere and their mountain land.
